Coating Spike (CS) is a Spike/Sharp Performance Tip coated in rubber, hence the name. Coating Spike will provide limited movement thanks to the Spike/Sharp, but once knocked off balance, act like a Rubber Flat, providing fast movement. Like all rubber Performance Tips, it's recommended to own several, as the rubber will wear down over time, reducing its aggressive movement. Although it has great use in Attack and Defense Type combinations, it is more recommend to use Coating Spike for Defense Type combinations due to the reduction of aggressive movement.

Mold Variations

The molds produced by Sonokong and Hasbro have less defined Spikes than the Takara Tomy version. As such, they are more aggressive, even more so when the rubber is worn down from use.

Overall

Coating Spike's Spike/Sharp Performance Tip coated in rubber allows combinations with it to give out counter-attacks thanks to its knocked off balance behaviour, causing it to act like a Rubber Flat, and with it, makes it a perfect choice for Defense Type Combinations.

As a result, Coating Spike is a must have for competitive bladers.
